for windows peeps you can start by installing all the prerequisite software:
- install git with all default settings - https://git-scm.com/download/win
- install visual studio code default settings - select default profile for terminal as "cmd" (command prompt) - https://code.visualstudio.com/download
- install anaconda all default settings - https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual
- install microsoft build tools (check the box for Desktop development for C++) - https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/
- install microsoft build tools (check the box for Desktop development for C++, you might be able to uncheck some optional downloads) - https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/
- install visual studio code default settings - https://code.visualstudio.com/download
then, `crack a conda shell`_ and run the following commands::
mkdir code # create code directory
cd code # change directory to code
pwd # shows present working directory, should show code inside default user folder
git clone https://github.com/pikers/piker.git # downloads piker installation package from github
cd piker # change directory to piker
conda create -n py39 # creates conda environment named py39
conda activate py39 # activates py39
conda create -n pikonda # creates conda environment named pikonda
conda activate pikonda # activates pikonda
conda install -c conda-forge python-levenshtein # in case it is not already installed
conda install pip # may already be installed
pip # will show if pip is installed
pip install -e . -r requirements.txt # install piker in editable mode
piker -b kraken -b binance chart btcusdt.binance # command to load chart for test
potential errors:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Roaming\\piker\\brokers.toml'
navigate to file directory above (may be different on your machine, location should be listed in the error)
create folder and copy and paste file or create a blank file using notepad --> 'C:\\Users\\user\\code\\data/brokers.toml'
test Piker to see if it is working::
piker -b binance chart btcusdt.binance # formatting for loading a chart
piker -b kraken -b binance chart xbtusdt.kraken
piker -b kraken -b binance -b ib chart qqq.nasdaq.ib
piker -b ib chart tsla.nasdaq.ib
potential error::
now that piker is installed we can set up vscode as the default terminal for running piker and editing the code.
within vscode you are going to want cmd.exe as your default terminal.
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Roaming\\piker\\brokers.toml'
solution:
in order to look coolio in front of all ur tina friends (and maybe
want to help us with testin, hackzing or configgin), install
`vscode`_ and `setup a coolio tiled wm console`_ so you can start
living the life of the tech literate..
- navigate to file directory above (may be different on your machine, location should be listed in the error code)
- copy and paste file from 'C:\\Users\\user\\code\\data/brokers.toml' or create a blank file using notepad at the location above
Visual Studio Code setup:
- now that piker is installed we can set up vscode as the default terminal for running piker and editing the code
- open Visual Studio Code
- file --> Add Folder to Workspace --> C:\Users\user\code\piker (adds piker directory where all piker files are located)
- file --> Save Workspace As --> save it wherever you want and call it whatever you want, this is going to be your default workspace for running and editing piker code
- ctrl + shift + p --> start typing Python: Select Interpetter --> when the option comes up select it --> Select at the workspace level --> select the one that shows ('pikonda')
- change the default terminal to cmd.exe instead of powershell (default)
- now when you create a new terminal VScode should automatically activate you conda env so that piker can be run as the first command after a new terminal is created
also, try out fancyzones as part of powertoyz for a decent tiling windows manager to manage all the cool new software you are going to be running.
